A Dead Nation - India

India is a very peculiar country where the citizens are usually taken for a ride by their leaders. The citizens are very much detached from the powerful and have belief system that the leaders have appeared from Mars. Otherwise why would MPs, MLAs and other government servants who have started from humble beginnings live a very royal life while the majority of citizens rot in their daily lives. The people who have elected these leaders rot in their hardships and seek small favours disproportionate to their allocations(usually very less). The wealth of the leaders grow the fastest and are usually disproportionate to their known sources of income, yet there are no concrete actions taken to bring in accountability.

The millions of poor citizens know that they are being looted and given doles by the government, yet they are very contended with their lives. The millions of poor citizens resign to their fate and hope for "Acche din" and every time a saint comes and says that "acche din ane wale hai" they believe. The foolish and intelligent people do so well in believing in all the jargon and sweet words that miracle men utter, hardly anybody escapes. Those who escape are hounded by the powerful and then ultimately everyone falls in line else they will simply disappear. There are many actions that can be taken to make people fall in line and the best methods are the most inhumane ones.

The ability to bear pain continuously with out retaliation has been drilled into the Indian citizen by the person who smiles in our currency notes. The smile is for our foolishness, for the honour we have given to this person who destroyed the retaliation spirit of India. Recent commentary by Radha Rajan in indiafacts.co.in is an eye opener. How can a leader smile when the nation is rotting with poverty and his smiling face is put on the currency notes. May be the citizens are made to laugh looking at the joker's face on the currency note and is an effort by our leaders to bring in some cheers in our life. Where are the symbols of wealth on the higher currency notes.

When we look at our nation's state of affairs from a third person point view, it becomes very clear that there is a clear design for subjugation. It has been proven beyond belief that various attempts are being made to destroy the Hindu culture and impose something foreign and slowly this is being look up with awe. While there should have been alarms ringing there are sounds of jingle bells and cloaks of invisibility by the leaders who are supposed to take matters head on. No single individual has been successful in destroying the spirit of India as Gandhi and he is allegedly titled Father of Nation(which is spiritually killed). There is no life when the spirit leaves and inspite of having the best individual minds we are nation of poverty, disease.

When a foreign spirit accepts the body the behaviour changes which may not suit the build of the body. Either the foreign spirit should be exorcised or the body be burnt to ashes. The religious conversions in India, population explosion of Muslims, crimes on women & children, the biased self appointed caretakers of morals who are foreign in intellect are all small doses of poison to kill the body to ensure the spirit of India never comes back. We are in a coma or near dead situation intellectually and are unable to realize the damage that has occurred because we are forced to not think about the nation. We are in a race of dead rats and who ever wins is already dead. The happiness index of our nation will never rise because the curing the symptoms will never heal the body unless the root cause is traced and solutions applied.

A dead nation is bereft of any creativity nor life and we are waiting to give away our control as quickly as possible. The taker is readying his armour while we are packing-up our history and modifying our culture to gain acceptance. A dead society is only good for putting in a tomb or for doing dissection and studying by the alive. We have never learnt from our past mistakes as a society and will never learn. The history is biased to our native citizens and we are killed from insides.

A case of Coconut & its Harvesting

The Coconut is a big consumable food item in the coastal regions and among many communities of our country. The coconut oil though being made to look as a dangerous for the long term health benefits is actually very good for health. In many of the culinary shows the non-Indian oils like Olive oil and others are being promoted. The foolish public are developing new taste senses and have pleasurable feeling due to consumption of olive oils and other foreign foods.

The principle of survival of the fittest is being accepted as the process of evolution, which in itself is highly debatable. But on the face of it, it is argued that when plants they make their seeds/fruits, better properties are passed for the continuity of the species. Thus in any given area the flora and fauna tend to fight the environment and aim for survival.  By this principle, it is a belief that local food consumption is better for the health on a regular basis than having foreign food. It is acceptable to have foreign/alien foods once in a while.

Animals are more dependant on plants because for the need for food which plants can make by photosynthesis while the animals can either other animals or plants. In the whole the food chain is more important and a lot of importance is to be given to the local foods than to alien foods. The long term effects are never studied because it will affect the short term gains for the corporations, societies and other for profit organizations.

Many of the systems and technologies that have been invented by us have an inspiration from nature and so far the reverse has not happened. with the shortage of manpower in general and agricultural labour in particular many activities are being mechanized and many patents are being generated with the purpose of making money. If not the innovator, the manufacturer will make profits, since some one has to make profit let us all make profits. This the modern mantra is development.

In this scenario, the coconut harvesting is a typical case. Many mechanisms have been developed for climbing up the coconut tree and then felling the coconuts to the ground. The tree climber charges the farmer either on basis of per tree, per coconut, per hour or any other basis and it will not be anywhere near cheap labour. There is also a shortage of tree climbers and there is a professional hazard of falling from the tree tops. Even though a number of mechanism have been developed their use has been limited due to the cumbersome nature of the machines.

In the present day, there is a wild fetish for electronic gadgets and remote/wireless control of machines. A flying machine has become a reality with Amazon delivering products, NETRA for surveillance are in use. The quadri-copter is being used for many applications and the load capacity is currently being limited due to the on-board battery whose weight is considerable and also limited the capabilities of the machine. The flying machines can be an answer to the coconut harvesting problem.

The flying machine should be provided with a cutting mechanism which may be a simple cutting wheel, scissor or like that of a wood pecker and attached with a camera. the machine when in flight should be operated manually using a control panel but should be wired to supply higher voltage from the ground operator. The weight of battery is replaced by the cutting mechanism and due to the presence of wire the weight of light gets added but will be negligible due to ability to transfer higher voltage. 

One such mechanism can be a solution to harvesting of even fruits, vegetables if provided by a proper collecting arrangements.
